Would you take Phil LaMarr?

scandalrag: I am going to the Yankees-Rays game tonight. I shall leave now as I must traverse the vast and lonely bridge that separates me from St. Petersburg. I have hired a young native girl, Sacawea, to guide me over the endless flats and the forboding ridge that keeps me from my goal. If I make it, I shall enthrall you with tales of the acres of glorious astroturf and the strange and decrepit denizens of the far reaches of baseball. If I should perish on my journey, please tell my mother that I love her. I must go and meet my lonely fate now.

Sincerely,

Scandalrag

\Seriously, it's a bridge. Even with traffic it takes less than an hour.

Rex_Banner: You don't need to know anything about FIP or xFIP to understand why a pitcher shouldn't be measured by win/loss

Because a win/loss has much more to do with the entire team than the pitcher. Yes, there is a mild correlation between them... but its a poor statistic. A good statistic is one that isolates as many non-factors as possible.

You nailed the ending with "Chris Tucker". +1 for you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Mets lead the NL East with a record of 2-0.

Well, crap - Royals/Angels are on broadcast for me.

cameroncrazy1984: The Bestest: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Mets lead the NL East with a record of 2-0.

I will enjoy first place while it lasts...oh, about the next week or so.

Yup. Sweet, probably fleeting success.

Bottom of the 12th, Blue Jays batted though the line-up in the top of the 12 for 4 runs, Indians have their work cut out for themselves....

LET'S GO BLUUUE JAAAYS!

McManus_brothers: Well this is certainly a useless thread now.

Calling out a possible perfect game in the 5th inning is complete fail.

Blue Jays 2-0 now.

OMG UCLA's softball coach just got ejected! UCLA trailing the Lady Devils 3-2. the benches are talking shiat to each other bigtime.


Guys this is getting scary. S just got R.

9beers: Fielder and Avila go yard for the Tigers.

As Josh beckett is getting annihilated...

4NSpy: I wasn't watching, but why was Fister pulled?

I hadn't seen a Fister pulled like that since your mom last night.


Eric Byrnes is DREADFUL in the booth. i like how he criticized one of the giants for not being in shape last year. hey eric: the Snakes paid you ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS TO GO AWAY. that's how valuable you were. you were DFA with 11MILL left.

desertgeek: Bumgarner doesn't even make it to the 5th inning for SF.


multiple miggs cracked me on the game chat: "it's a long season bro, you still got 5-6 more innings left...."

desertgeek: Eric Byrnes is a waste of space.


i literally almost ran into him at Pat's Run last year. we were by some kind of VIP area or some shiat, i forget, but it was cordoned off and there was a little passage between these areas, and as i'm stepping trhough he comes out. instantly, i;m like, "holy shiat, eric byrnes!"

and then abotu 5 seconds later Marie Tillman is right behind.

they're both from San Jose, so I figured they must have hooked up somehow.

And Beckett is *still* in the game?

ClavellBCMI: And Beckett is *still* in the game?

There Bobby V goes... left Beckett in one inning too long, imo, and I'm pulling for the Tigers.

That's Eric Byrnes in the booth? I missed the first 5 innings getting food (ever been to Golden Valley on extension and baseline?) and thought that it would be McCarver and Buck so wasn't really in a hurry to get back.

Oh yeah, fark Eric Byrnes

that was a really long single

R Kelly's Doo Doo Butter: The Tigers know how to hit baseballs really far.

and often


hate seeing Fister pulled. They have a pretty scary rotation and lineup, possibly strongest in the bigs in both. Scary weak pen though.

tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
